GoPro Comparisons & Reviews

Since the original GoPro HERO was released in 2004, GoPro has put out quite a few models.

You can get comparison tables anywhere, but what I'm trying to do with these detailed, side-by-side comparison reviews is to lay out the differences and similarities in plain English based on hands-on use in the hope that it makes it easier to choose between models or decide whether to upgrade.
